Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 622

Dad's got his reasons, mixed with a pinch of jealousy, and that's how we ended up in this mess!

Right now, Elijah thinks of Keith as what?

Right, a wolf in sheep's clothing!

He's just like those people you hear about on the internet, all innocent on the surface but scheming behind the scenes, trying to mess up Dad and Mom's relationship! All this talk about "helping to test" – it's a trap!

But without any proof to back up his suspicions, Elijah keeps his mouth shut. No proof, no persuasion.

Luckily, Elliot is clear-headed enough. Even though he doesn't blame Keith, he knows it's not Dad's fault for the fight.

Elysia nods, having known someone for a while now, just like Elijah said, he might have a temper, but he's not the type to start a fight without reason.

"But if it's not his fault, why won't he tell me why they fought?" she muses.

Elijah frowns in response, "Dad must have his reasons, something he can't explain to Mom."

Elysia is puzzled, what could be so hard to say? But she trusts her kids! If they say it wasn't his fault, then it must not be. She decides she needs to talk to him more about it.

After a moment of silence, Elysia says, "Let's not worry about this anymore, it's grown-ups' business. But no more foolishness, and you must tell Mom everything first thing!"

"Is Mom still mad?"

"No, I'm not mad. I know you're all good kids."

Elijah quickly asks, "So, Mom, you're not mad at Dad anymore?"

Elysia thinks for a moment and says, "Fighting is definitely not okay. You can't follow his example. We live in a society of laws; we must be civilized, especially you, Evan, got it? No fighting!"

The kids nod eagerly.
